Post by: Branson on November 12, 2014, 05:28:04 PM

The title says cross pein, but the picture shows straight pein.  Starting bid of $15

Looks like a 3 lb Cross Pein to me but I don't know much about blacksmith stuff.

After a few weeks or months, all the pictures on eBay are deleted, so for future reference it helps to copy and save the images and repost them... I'm also often a lazy chap and just copy the links into htmp [img] code - that's fine until the original image is deleted or the hosting website closes/changes - so now I use Save As into My Pictures, then post the image...

Here's the two images from the above eBay links:

Looking at the first hammer, and what appears to be more of an axe type pein (It's not rounded) it appears more like a stone mason's hammer than a smith's tool.....
